Resources for your grief journey

We grieve because we love.

How does the heart understand grief when it is broken by the death of a loved
one? To survive and live forward, those who grieve must find answers. As we
grieve, slowly we understand that grief is not a crisis of faith—it is
a crisis of the heart. Here you will find comfort, guidance, and spiritual
support on your journey through grief. The hope is that these resources will
lead you toward renewed hope and fullness of life as you emerge at last from the
darkness of grief into the light of new life, your soul restored through the
steadfast love and faithfulness of God.

Here you will find a broad range of topics on the emotional, spiritual, and
practical aspects of grief most of us experience. Walk through your grief
journey alongside Julie Yarbrough, who understands the pain of grief. The blogs,
books, daily devotionals, prayers, and support for grief groups offer her
personal insight to guide and encourage you on your journey through grief.

Explore helpful books and group guides on your path to restoration after loss.

On a rainy Tuesday afternoon in December, I attended the funeral of a woman whose husband I knew and wanted to support. He was an adoring, loving spouse, in every way a faithful servant who cared for his wife throughout her long decline from Alzheimer’s disease. The service was a fitting tribute to a joyful life well-lived in love and service to her family, her church, and others.

What is happiness? The root hap, meaning “luck, chance, or good fortune,” is found in words of both positive and negative connotation: happening, mishap, haphazard, happenstance. The implied meaning of happiness is that luck, chance, and good fortune determine your state of being. This suggests that you are not entirely in charge of your own happiness. The truth is that there is nothing random about happiness. It is a choice you can make for the rest of your life.

God, my strength is in you. You have supported and sustained me through grief in the way that leads to happiness in you. Amen.
